wish i had seen this when i got home o well.. but the good thing.. scroll down and look at shipping
"Ships May 18 FREE "
I'd consider it, but I'm gonna go to Best Buy in a few and preorder it there so I can get it at Launch. Looks like May 18th is the official day, woohoo!
Yep, same here. Order submitted through sprint's website.....came on here.... /facepalm
Oh well. Doesn't look like ordering from Sprint directly gives you the google wallet credit either....
/crossing my fingers that the devs can S-off this beast htcdev unlock = lame
my understanding is they usually ship a day or so early for pre orders but considering the shape my evo is in i wont mind waiting.. i should post pics its a frankenstien.. no volume buttons power button stolen from an optimus.. been thru 2 glasses ( on its 3rd now ) and 2 lcds.. wifi antenna is broke off the board.. but for 2 years its served me good and taken quite a beating.. i wont make same mistake as last time ill be getting an otter box
Darn, already placed my pre-order with Sprint direct before I saw this.
On the phone with them now to either cancel or get a $50 credit.

Sprint offered to cancel the pre-order rather than issue a credit. I ended up letting the order process. Wasn't sure I could stay on the same plan via WireFly. We're on a better plan than they have listed.
Side note... The agent in sales support insisted that the phone would ship in a couple of days. I ended up talking to a supervisor who agreed that probably wasn't the case but indicated it would likely ship and be received prior to the official launch on the 18th. Not sure that I'm all that confident in that statement either. We'll wait and see.

I ended up sticking with it, since I had no choice. And I prolly would have stuck with it if had an option. I have dealt with wirefly in the past, over a mail in rebate for parents. They lost the form, so i called to ask wirefly for another. Their response was no you are SOL, we can't send you another form. So there went 100$.
After that experience, I am a little more hesitant to believe anything on their site. i.e. screwing up my current plan by ordering with them.
I also get a 25% discount, so if I go to Best Buy I will lose that? I don't understand why.

I just called my Radio Shack and they said they stopped taking orders yesterday. Do you think that is for every reseller. A girl here at work said she pre-ordered hers at a kiosk in Sam's club. She bought a 50 dollar gift card and then has to pay 150 the day of pickup. Plus Sprint is supposed to give a 70 dollar credit on her bill. I don't know what that is for but they seem to think you get that every time you re-up your contract.
So other than Sam's and the Shack are there any other stores I should check?
Thanks,
Phil
It might be worth your time to check out
www dot evpdiscount dot com .
It is a division of Sprint (or perhaps a third-party company???) that offers discounts ranging from 5% to 25% or so off your monthly bill. The discount is determined by who your employer is. The downside is your employer may not be a member. Mine was not, but I managed to get it set up and was able to pre-order through EVP. There is no cost or obligation to your employer. Also, the EVP price for the EVO itself is only $174.99, so that will save you a few bucks as well.
however, with that website you have to wait for your rebate (the $100 and the $25..), where best buy and radio shack you don't have to wait for the rebate
Looks like I'll have to wait on the rebate. I went ahead and ordered it via the EVP. Hopefully it ships on the 4th and I can get it early in the following week. The RS guy said their promotion ended yesterday so I figured I just needed to get my name on a list somewhere.

That's a good point. I forgot to mention that. However, if you have a business account, they employ something called "flat rate pricing," which means an instant rebate. I was fortunate enough to be porting over a business line, so the entire up front cost will only be $174.99 plus tax. They also throw in free overnight shipping AND free activation.

I specifically asked if it would be shipped on the 4th and received a few days after that and the response I received from the EVP representative was that they usually receive units early and will ship them out as soon as they come in. He also mentioned that it is more likely that EVP customers would get them earlier than the 4th rather than later.
I'm crossing my fingers, hoping desperately that he's correct. Time will tell, but if it get's here ON the 4th, I am one happy camper. Having to wait the extra weekend would be torture...
Sweet, I never thought about Radioshack before. I've been on a "5 days after the 4th" list for the Evo at Best Buy, and I just called RS and they confirmed that they'll have spare units first come first serve at 6AM. :-D I'm not sure if I should take my name off the BB list now or wait to see how RS plays through.
I just ordered mine from sprint for $299 with 28% off full the phone plan(Woot love my work). She said 299.99 with $100 off mail in rebate but after i gave her my work info she said they would do it for $250 with $100 mail in rebate. They will have it delivered on the 4th in the am. So glad to get this over my Nexus One with ****ty t-mobile.
P.S I just read that if you order from sprint they wont ship it till jun 4th. I just called and thats true. I canceled my order
Edit: Word I just got one for $300 from local guy that went to Google I/O. He wanted $600 but money talks and bull **** walks.
I preordered mine from a local store... celltekWireless. They've got a pre-order site set up... sort of.

Just send your name and phone number and a rep will get back to you to confirm your request to pre-order one.

It's not a plan, the term of the contract with VZW is "1 Month". But, it forces you into a 6-month "contract" with Wirefly, despite the fact that there's no discount or subsidy on the Xoom, and data is month-to-month with VZW. If you downgrade or drop the month to month data before the 6 months are up, Wirfely will charge you an ETF.
"Q. If I place a pre-order reservation, when will I receive my tablet?
A. We will begin shipping orders on the official Verizon Wireless launch date for the MOTOROLA XOOM tablet, which is currently February 23, 2011 but subject to change. If you order additional devices (such as with a family plan), we will hold your entire order until your MOTOROLA XOOM is ready to ship."
I dont like the subject to change part . Was hoping for a solid date. I would only order from wirefly if you were afraid it would sell out but I dont see that happening. Its unsubsidized and you are forced into a contract when you can just cancel from any other place. I wouldnt order from them

(Best buy has in their ad that it will be available in stores on the 24th!!) So i asked him where were they located (wirefly)..he said i can't disclose that info...lol...i told him no thanks.

Previous BB leaked ads, or was the the costco ad, had them being sold on the 24th.. but in stock as early as the 20th.. or the 22nd. I don't recall exact dates, but I do recall that they were going to be in store 2 days early at least. So the 23rd would be a shipment date to get them to consumer by the 24th. Wirefly probably gets them the 22nd.. ships them out the 23rd..

i have ordered from wirefly before, they are good. I got my old droid x from them. They usually sell items at a more discounted price though. Its probably because you arent locked into a contract.
Do you save tax purchasing from WireFly? That would be the only reason I would think they were worth buying from.

no, getting the xoom from wirefly would probably be the same as getting it anywhere else except the pre-order price gurantee. I dont know if other stores are offering that though i doubt the price of the xoom will change in 30 days unless it epic fail of a launch.

You are correct. The chance of a price change in 30 days would require virtually no sales. Though there is alway the super low chance that iPad2 could have some surprise up their sleeves that forces the XOOM to change its game.
i just ordered mine from wirefly. theres no best buy where i live right now and i cant wait until i move so i went on and pre-ordered it. Theres a radioshack here but they never get products when they are released so wirefly is my best bet on getting it asap.
Just placed a preorder. Hope I'm correct in assuming I won't be hit with the Wirefly 6 month ETF if I cancel the month-to-month plan within the first month.

This tells me you only need to use your one month and not the 6 month deal. Everything on wirefly is pretty much pre-written for cell phones which the xoom isnt. Of course Ill try to verify and double check. I suggest not canceling the contract though for that first month. That 1 month is required for wirefly. Like I said though i will contact them and verify
Cancelled my preorder, went and preordered at Best Buy. It was super easy.
So i am not up for upgrade until march 2012 but i decided to check and see what the OTD price was thru att for the atrix on my account. I pulled it up, and oddly enough it showed 199!
I went through the checkout process, but it wouldnt fully process the final checkout because i have unlimited data and i wouldnt pick a new data plan. Instead, i printed out my cart showing the final price of 199 + tax and took it into our local ATT store.
Talked to the manager there and he said he'd grandfather my data plan in, AND honor the price given on the website! so i'm getting my atrix tuesday morning for 199 even tho i just used my upgrade for my captivate in july!
SO STOKED!
How did you manage to get it for that price online? I'm in the same boat as you, I upgraded to my captivate in august and i'm not due for upgrade until 2012
If this is true, can you provide a few more details? I would also love to give this a shot.
Holy cow. Is there any way this is possible if you aren't a current AT&T customer? Lol

When they pay $500 for a phone it doesn't make sense for them to sell it for $200 without contract. It would never be able to happen in my store and my manager is extrememely lenient.

Wtf.........
Well, luckily with AT&T no phone of mine has ever really been "on a contract"... When I called the cancellation dept to preorder my Atrix....errr.... "switch to Verizon or Sprint".... They told me if I stayed, they'd cancel the last 10 months of my contract if i signed a new 2 year contract...and they gave me the Atrix for $174.99 with free overnight and no upgrade fee.... This is the same trick I pulled when I upgraded my phone last time 1 year into my 2 year contract! In other words, their "contract" is really BS if you talk to the right person in the cancellation dept who will keep throwing it out the window to keep you as a customer.

Don't worry about having that happen. The goal of their "cancellation dept" is to do just the opposite. It should be named the "retention dept"! The first thing the guy told me on the phone (which was kinda cheesy) was "I'm superman and I have superpowers to keep you a satisfied AT&T customer!" And he did indeed have the superpower to throw my existing contract out the window and alter the presale price of the Atrix. Just call up, act dissatisfied with your current phone...ask how much your termination fee is...point out that it's cheaper for you to switch carriers than pay full price for the phone... then you're on your way to a new cheap phone! :-D

honestly all i did was log into my account on ATT, click the line i wanted to upgrade, and picked the atrix. it showed 199 instead of 499 even though my page said 'i am eligible to take advantage of their no commitment pricing until 2012'
i just noticed right now when i tried logging back into my ATT account i got this message:

when i'm able to get back into my ATT account ill post screen captures
i ordered mine on the website out of contract,have my receipts showing the 199 price,lol. it was a flaw in the preorder website for the phone,it was because of the dock price, a att rep just reported to me. they called me and told me they would be canceling my order and redoing it at the full price,as it was an error, i told them to cancel my contract while they were at it,if they weren't going to honor a price i agreed to pay, they then agreed to let me buy the phones at the 199.99 price

Lol!! I guess that proves that "the customer is always right."
I did almost the same thing. I bought the inspire for 99 on a new service contract. I then went online 3 days later to see what the price of the atrix would be without contract. When I got to check out it was $199. The phone is now in the hands of fedex for delivery tomorrow.
The AT&T site has been down since some time last night! Maybe they are trying to fix this "glitch" lol!!

Same here. Bought a Captivate back in July '10, iPhone 4 in Nov '10, my line (the Captivate) was only ~7 months into my current 2 year contract.
Last Wed (the 16th) went through the normal process, added the phone as an "upgrade" for me, went in the cart for $199, changed (again, right online) from the $30 Unlimited Data to $30 Unlimited Data w/ HSPA+
I *suspect* this was simply an early upgrade allowance (plus pre-order discount), and I'll be into a brand new 2 year contract.
Phone is on the FedEx truck due to be delivered today (in the next hour or so).
So I called to cancel my pre-order from the Sprint website since there are other retailers out there who are offering sweeter deals. Sprint has been unable to cancel the order (merely an hour after I placed the order) and are now telling me I am stuck.
I'm fairly surprised that in this day and age customers cannot cancel an order for an item that supposedly is weeks/months away from shipping.
So the overwhelming lesson here is - don't order anything from Sprint. That was the worst buying experience I think I have ever had.
Well, there's United airlines but they are in a class of fail all by themselves.

So I called to cancel my pre-order from the Sprint website since there are other retailers out there who are offering sweeter deals. Sprint has been unable to cancel the order (merely an hour after I placed the order) and are now telling me I am stuck.
I'm fairly surprised that in this day and age customers cannot cancel an order for an item that supposedly is weeks/months away from shipping.
So the overwhelming lesson here is - don't order anything from Sprint. That was the worst buying experience I think I have ever had.
Well, there's United airlines but they are in a class of fail all by themselves.

give you $50 for it...
Lesson learned.
Investigate first.
I've been there.

I just ordered for wirefly and save $50, F*ck Sprint!
i had this issue when the OG evo came out. I pre ordered it from sprint the day of pre orders. 2 days later they announced that best buy was getting the white evo.
I right away tried canceling my evo pro order from sprint and they wouldnt let me. I waited about 2 weeks and called back and canceled it with no problem.
I think you should wait a few days then call them again to cancel the pre order. I think at 1st its so crazy with pre orders and stuff so give them a break.
I called to cancel a few hours after my order. Had to go through 3 people but he finally did it. Got a lot of "Well we will you have see if that can be canceled" blah blah. They had no problem charging my cc the second I clicked to preorder for an item not yet available, how is canceling that so hard? Anyway, got it cancelled and ordered though wirefly with cheaper/better insurance. Sadly I forgot to go through fatwallet for cash back.
what was the total cost of the wirefly pre order???
my order from sprint came out to be 235.74
maybe i should cancel my sprint pre order and get it from wirefly. do they ship the day it comes out???
I preordered online and then found the Wirefly deal.
Had to call in but was able to cancel the order and get my eligibility status reset and order from Wirefly, which went flawlessly and ended up being closer to $75 cheaper as Wirefly didn't charge taxes to my area.
Sprint representative did say my money would be tied up for about 10 days before being credited back. He also mentioned that there was no way they could match the price even though I didn't even mention anything about that.
It wasn't a difficult process for me at all. Hopefully Wirefly will have the phone to me within a reasonable timeframe around the 18th. I don't mind missing it for a few days if it saved me $75.

Mine was $149.99 even but as I said in another post, I wasn't charged any sales tax.
Bestbuy is pre-ordering as well. They give you $50 if you pre-order and if you trade in your OG Evo, they'll give you an additional $50

I and others just preordered at best buy and no money was given either way. They just give you a piece of paper that says you are preordered.

Wow... Does that mean they will charge your card when you receive the phone? And the phone will ultimately cost $100? If so then sweet... Glad I didn't jump on the Sprint preorder today... thanks guys!
unfortunately I jumped on the Sprint pre-order and now they refuse to cancel my order. I called 3 times and escalated and was told order is too far along on their process and cannot be cancelled, even though they said it hasn't shipped nor do they know when it will. I'm so pissed at them, I know its B.S excuse not to cancel my order. in any event I will wait get the phone and then return, this way it will cost them even more money for shipping and return, and then buy from somewhere else. I told them they prefer to do that than cancel order and they didn't care.....and they wonder why companies loose money
Wirefly is also giving a good price on pre-oders $149 ( $50 off) and Amazon is giving $50 off as well.
Amaze how quickly went fast on Google Play Store, but upset that Google let the carriers control their own pre orders.
The carriers probably prefer to have their act together before they open pre-orders

I agree it stinks but it should go a lot smother
very annoying, there were some rumors on AT&T pre-ordering today but I guess not
I work for AT&T and I feel upset....
And before you ask, NO, AT&T controls every information flow and like 85% of employees knows what is happening with the company after the company make it official like plans, device, etc.
So even I don't know when AT&T will began preorders.

I knew I was going to be asked anyways, so I went ahead with some of my friend at Business Solution (I am a Customer Care Rep) and Business Solution as part of selling to companies, they sometimes have from a week to a week and a half in advance to know before hand what device will be launching next and currently.....No further details.... -_-
I work for Sprint and our inside employee Playbook comes out today (which is the document that's always leaked with Sprint showing the new stuff) so I'm gonna be checking that tonight when it comes out to see if it has any news....
I sure hope it has a release date I can't wait any longer...
So far only T-Mobile has said what they're doing and that's no pre-order at all with the phone coming out on November 12th. Verizon hasn't even put up a registration page on their site.

I do think it's odd that they'd be releasing on the 12th when Google doesn't ship til the 21st. Typo maybe?

I don't think so, they announced that date two weeks ago and haven't changed it.
Checked today's Sprint Playbook. Not one word about the Nexus 6 in the entire thing. I'm really disappointed. All they taljed about is the stupid Sprint Leasing and the even more stupid Galaxy Gear S.
Maybe there will be some kind of announcement on the Sprint Newsroom website or in next Wednesdays Playbook buy I'm tired of being in the dark on this....
I'm gonna laugh my butt off if I get to walk into a retail carrier store and pick up a N6 fully unlocked for zero down and low monthly zero interest payments, and get it before the Play Store pre-orders even get shipped out.....

This. I work for ATT as well and ONCE ATT RELEASES A PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT, we get that about the same time.
After an online chat with AT&T sales Representative, I was told that tomorrow (Halloween) details will be released regarding launch on AT&T.

"Low monthly zero interest payments"? Think before you type.

I pay the same price for my device on VZW Edge as you would pay buying it out right. Zero interest. The payment gets zeroed out each month by the bill credit for the 10gb More Everything plan I have too..... so I pay the retail tax and then 24 months later I own the device outright.

But 24 months is a long time to wait to own the device. I guess it's a preference thing but I'd rather buy it outright and own it right away instead of monthly payments.

You don't have to wait 24 months to upgrade. It was 12 months you could trade it in for whatever was new. Now it's 18 months. But that assumes you make the minimum payments. You can pay as much as often as you want.
I dont want to own any device I've had after 2 years lol
